My 1989 M3 Cecotto, sold it back about 2002
My other big regret, my 1994 Evo 2 Integrale at the dealer back in 2005, I p/x'd it to him against a Mitsi Evo VI
Omg, I thought I'd made a few mistakes selling cars until I saw this

. I even left this nice reg plate on her;
Only photo I have of my Audi 80 B2 quattro. One of the last of only 400 imported into the UK. It had full leather interior, and had been recomissioned and tuned by the chap I bought it from, a senior technician for GTi Engineering. To deviate slightly from the thread, I was the last owner of the car 
My previous 325i that got sold to a BMW breaker for its MTec leather, BBS wheels, sports suspension and lsd. I got rid of it about 3 months prior to unwittingly being in a financial position to fund a body resto on it, Grr.

Owned for 4 years and 26k miles, sold it for a good profit but I still miss it. I've toyed with buying another one, but I can't imagine how it could be as good, and then we'd be into the same kind of disappointment when you go back to somewhere you loved, and it didn't live up to how you remembered it...

k a few times. That one though............. oooooooooppphhhhh thats gonna hurt.
wish i had kept this. sold when i was younger and was destroyed within a couples of weeks by the new owner.
Was lovely, handled like a go kart, took anything you could throw at it, full spax shocks and springs along with a kent cam made it pretty capable. Never see them now days.would love to have kept it in the garage.

Yes, thankyou Fella, my mates do like reminding me every so often
. The worst thing was the M3 was p/x'd against a 1999 VW Golf GTI 20v Turbo
.
Got £7.5k for it, the Golf was £14k back then
, nice car but I knew I'd made a massive mistake the day I drove it home from the dealer in Manchester...
I could do you a nice deal on a mk4 golf, £900 or £25k for the Cecotto? I can imagine the cringing you must do when you think the Delta and M3 are now worth £50k between them. . The worst thing was the M3 was p/x'd against a 1999 VW Golf GTI 20v Turbo.Got £7.5k for it, the Golf was £14k back then
, nice car but I knew I'd made a massive mistake the day I drove it home from the dealer in Manchester...This thread is the reason why I'm never selling my 968CS or M3. I made the mistake once with a mint RS2000, won't do it again.
Seriously.. cost me £75, had no maintenance, never let me down, got nicked, recovered and repaired, and I still sold for a profit.
Was revvy, enthusiastic and oh-so honest. An early spec car so super-retro colour and lots of chrome. All it needed was some coilvers, banded steelies and a Zetec lump
Mitsubishi FTO GPX - Was my first proper car, bought for myself for 21st birthday. Has a place in my heart as it was a grey import, and very few in the country at the time (was back in 1998). Was also the car I had when I met my wife. Would buy it back if I ever found it
BMW E60 M5 - just loved it. Sold only because the economy took a turn for the worst and my job was threatened.
